<P>Message of the Guayasamín Foundation to the participants in the event
for the 80 birthday of Fidel.</P>
<P>Friends:</P>
<P>You should have known about the "Proclamation to the Cuban People" made
public by Fidel a few hours ago. In that text, he refers to the event that
the Foundation promoted with your support in the following terms: "The 80
anniversary of my birthday, that thousands of personalities so generously
decided to celebrate next August 13th, I ask them to postpone it for the
December 2nd of the present year, 50 anniversary of the disembark of the
Granma yacht."</P>
<P>We must pay attention to the request of this dearest friend of
Guayasamín and of the world with all our love and therefore we will meet
in Havana next December 2nd to pay our tribute to whom deserves universal
affection and admiration.</P>
<P>The news we have received are encouraging and we have no doubts about
his recovery. We must continue to work so our event will have even greater
success in that historical date the Commander Fidel has suggested.</P>
<P>Alfredo Vera</P>
<P>General Coordinator</P></SAMP></TD></TR>
